Abstract:
A system is disclosed. The system includes a first circuit, the first circuit includes a bias device for allowing the first circuit to transition between a first mode and a second mode. The system further includes a second circuit which controls the bias device. The second circuit provides a bias voltage at a sub-threshold voltage level to the bias device when the first device is in one of the first and the second mode. The second circuit provides a bias voltage at a threshold voltage level or higher when the first device is in one of the first and the second mode. Accordingly, the transition time between modes of the first circuit is minimized.
